KIT digital to delay filing Form 10-QAs disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 2, on November 15, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KIT digital concluded that, because of errors and irregularities identified by the company in its historical financial statements, the financial statements for (1) the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and (2) each of the three quarters in 2009, 2010 and 2011 will be restated. As a result of the restatement of these prior periods, the company will also restate the quarters ended March 31 and June 30. The accounting errors and irregularities relate primarily to recognition of revenue related to certain perpetual software license agreements entered into by the prior management team in 2010 and 2011. These errors and irregularities were discovered in connection with the Audit Committee’s previously disclosed investigation of certain transactions that resulted in impairment charges. The Audit Committee has also determined that certain transactions entered into by the Company under the prior management team during fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 through 2011 were related party transactions and that additional disclosure with respect to those transactions should have been included in the footnotes to the relevant financial statements. Because of the timing of the completion of the Audit Committee investigation and the Company’s ongoing review and investigation of certain transactions, the Company requires additional time to complete an analysis of the accounting treatment for the software licenses and to determine the extent of the corrections that may be required to its historical financial statements. Other effects on previous financial statements are also possible. Accordingly, the Company cannot currently quantify the potential impact of the restatement. Therefore, the Company is unable to timely file its Current Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30.
